    Эта игра ужасна. Единственный ее положителньый момент это хороший визуал.
    Минусов просто гора. Инфантильный, пустой и растянутый сюжет. Нет, не второстепенный, основной. Я прошел половину сюжета Сумеру и это все еще нелепая чушь.
    Комьюнити безбожно инфантильное и по тому как они пытаются всем доказать качество этой игры, создается ощущение что они никогда не играли в нормальные игры.

    Одна из худших моделей монетизации через gacha. Дело не в том что вы получаете персонажей рандомно, а в том что получение ресурсов вне доната максимально душное.
    Награда не соответствует затраченному времени очень мягко говоря. Сам по себе геймплей крайне унылый.
    Эндгеймового контента просто нет. Что-то похожее на него это 3 уровня арены раз в 20 дней. Для их прохождения нужно вкачать 8 персонажей (а еще, я уверен абсолютно случайно каждые 20 дней эффекты подстраиваются под текущего персонажа из баннера). Награда за этот контент копеечная. Стоит того только если вы стабильно по каким-то причинам играете в это и у вас уже есть 8 подходящих персонажей.

    В этой игре кроме визуала нет ни одного положительного момента если вы старше 13 лет и ваш iq выше 80.

    Dear gaming community,

    I am playing Genshin Impact since the version 1.3 and i have enjoyed it from the beginning. The beginning is a bit tuff cause a the Level barriers between the Archon-/Storyquests. In the older versions of the game this was a big issue. But as it is now the Map is almost four times the size of the original map if not even bigger. For today there is no problem at all to reach the required Levels to get to the next Archonquest.

    Many people will see the Gacha feature of Genshin as a big Issue, but in my oppinion it is just a way to slow down the pace of getting new characters. Nowadays i really like it to farm for the new Characters.

    The Map additions that came in the last three years are just great. Almost from every climate zone in the world there is a region for. Not only forest and mountains, also Ice hills, desert, cliffsregion, jungle and many more beautiful looking locations excist in this game.

    This game ist perfect for everyone that likes a great MMORPG with an animestyle where they have to grind to get forward in the story and build their character

In the end, if you like to look at flashy graphic and anime girl then this is for you, the gameplay is just water down version of Zelda, Nier, etc. Some people said it does not pay to win, just you wait and see, I played their game before so I know where is this game gonna heading.

    Genshin Impact is an unfinished cash grab, a mobile game.
    The shadows render distance seems low and take se out of the game. (We are in the days of ray traced shadows, please at least make your shadows have higher render distance)
    locked to 60 FPS, I have a 144 Hz screen I can't see a reason why game should be locked to 60.

    The game was great, but the gacha was bad and the drop rate was low. But after today's when prices have increased in many regions of the world, as well as in regions with low wages. Sorry, but raising the prices for donation by 20% is too much. Some people live off that kind of money.
    Of course I will play this game, but I will not recommend it.
    I will give advice if you want to play

    I will give advice if you want to play your conditionally "free game", make the prices cheaper. and if you raise them, then all the players will run away to other games.

    Update:
    The game has been out for a while and while I was ok continuing with it fr a bit, I'm simly done. Everything is a grind, everything is designed to suck up as much money as possible, and the game does not respect your time. Things have gotten lazier and greedier, and while the game has immense promise, every system in it hampers your enjoyment for that extra dollar (or 1000).

    Previous, and still ongoing:
    The resin system is a paywall that they don't make obvious until 100+ hours in. I was having a blast until the game basically told me to fms because I didn't have enough resin. But fear not.. you can BUY resin with real money! Ridiculous.

    The games simply not worth playing. Watch story online or something.

    A whopping 40% price increase on some regions just because they can't be bothered with restricting purchases within regions. After that, any and all hope that this game wouldn't end up just as a cash grab gacha went out the window.

    This is not only pay to win game, but also a pay to exploration and puzzles solving game. If you spent thousands of money and got Keqing, you would find that the exploration and puzzle become boring and easy. However if you don't, you even can't solve some puzzles.

    This game starts out wonderfully, buy does not allude to its extremely horrible monetary restrictions until you're about 30 hours into the game. The graphics and story are interesting but ultimately end up extremely disappointing at the end.
    1. The story ends abruptly, and there are a TOTAL of about 40 quests in game. The quests are a large part of the in game currency and character experience, when you finish them, that stops completely. You get maybe 13 character experience per monster kill, which is about 1/1000 of the experience you got before.
    2. After you finish the story, there is very little to do. 4 daily quests, and you can do 3 to 6 "stamina" related activities.
    3. The stamina system is by far the worst and most punishing aspect of this game. It takes 18 hours to refill, and at the current "end game" you can't even level your characters or equipment once with 1 day. You'll more than likely need 3-4 days of stamina related activities to advance one aspect of your setup.
    5. This stamina system basically forces you to stop playing after 20 minutes, because you can't receive anything for doing any activity.
    6. The game's co-op in this game is pointless and it punishes you for even attempting it. All bosses are easily solo'd, and if you go to a friends world, you do not receive rewards for opening chests, doing timed challenges, or helping them in any way outside of stamina activities. This is done to ensure that people do not progress quickly because you run out of experience gaining activities very quickly.

    This all leads to no progression, which is the point of this type of game. There is literally nothing to do after you finish the 40 quests the game has given you. You could build a 2nd team of characters, but with no quests to provide you with currency and experience items for your character and gear, it turns into a grind that is extremely unappealing. Taking weeks to meet any one goal.

    I do not recommend this game in its current state, and if you do play, do NOT invest money in it.

    2. The game has numerous timegated mechanics such as resin, processing, etc.
    3. The game also has a battlepass system, with some missions literally impossible to finish without using the gacha currency.
    4. The exploration isn't nearly as interesting after an hour or so of exploring. The "puzzles" are repetitive, the scenery is repetitive (god I hope you love the color green), and the chest rewards are all at best mediocre.
    5. You cannot rebind controls.
    6. You can't skip cutscenes, and are forced to click through dialogue. Even if you like the story you would have to do this for mundane sidequests as well.
    7. Going from A to B without waypoints is excruciatingly slow, as is climbing.
    8. You're letting a Chinese company put a kernal level anticheat on your computer.

    So if you want to try it and form your own opinions go ahead. Just be aware of the technical and predatory issues that the game is abound with.

Donut is the main problem of this game. At the beginning it is not so noticeable, but closer to the 35-40 rank of adventures, hell begins, consisting of grind and / or donation. The passage of the twisted abyss of level 7 is impossible without successful characters or 40 adventure rank, which is unrealistically boring to grid because of the lack of content. Best I could achieve: 30 seconds lag to 3 stars in the first room on the 7th floor. The only way to get at least something after the 35 adventure rank is to donate. The original resin is recovered very slowly. After a complete exploration of the world and the completion of all world quests, there is simply nothing to improve weapons and artifacts with. In dungeons, solid debris falls, which is not enough to improve good artifacts. Have you decided to collect crystals and improve your weapons? It was not so! They are restored every 3 days and there are about 40 of them. You can collect more, but it will take too much time. Many people will think that I am some kind of casual, but no. I only want the game to become more difficult and interesting. Now there is no challenge in it other than: "Grind for the sake of grind." All dungeons are passed by 1-2 characters even without taking damage, monsters in the world do not pose any danger, and the cooldown of the terror of the storm and the lupus is 1 week, which makes them impossible to farm. Farming common bosses (elite monsters) is not fun. All the drops that I fell from them consisted of a wreath for resistance to a certain element and a heap of blue trash. And of course, an item for raising a character, which is useful only at rank 40, to which it is very boring to swing. Expand

    Everything! There is nothing else good in this game. I have spent several years in this game. I've been playing since release. I always buy the battle pass, the moon. I studied all my characters to make the most effective teams...
    And what do I have? Until now, the game constantly humiliates me. I spend a lot of time, effort and even money to achieve the result - the passage of the abyss for 36 stars. Even though I have a lot of 5-star characters, a lot of legendary weapons - going through the abyss still causes a lot of pain.

    The plot deserves special mention. If initially it was interesting, now it has become boring and stretched. Instead of constantly going to the goal (search for a sister), we are engaged in some kind of garbage: they intervened there, changed something there, etc. And this did not make us closer to the sister. All the local problems that we solve do not affect our goal in any way.

    The community of this game also deserves a special mention. This is a disgusting, toxic and stupid community. They point blank do not see the obvious shortcomings of the game (there is no CD reset on restart, etc.). They try to give advice without understanding the specifics. The game has artifacts that can be obtained, but each player will have a unique one in terms of performance. No two artifacts are exactly the same. This fact is simply ignored by these advisers.

    Don't play it. Don't repeat my mistake. Save time, money and effort.

    The game starts amazingly but purposely hide most of his features till rank 15-20.

    Here what they don't want you to find out in the first days of play:

    1) The stamina system: called Resin in the game, it's the same stuff we see in any idle Asian product. The main problem it's that it's reward oriented and shared among any event. Basically unlike any other idle game here you either hunt for gold, exp or scrap materials. Also the in-game request are huge; with a 120 cap a boss takes 40 stamina to collect the reward ( 3 bosses and "see you tomorrow!" ... But you can always drop money to refill stamina )

    2) An huge empty world: It's cool to roam around when you feel it has a purpose but soon you realize that any chest in the open world it's just scrap materials and it loses any sense ( premium boxes may be the only exception ). All the good stuff come from instanced events that use the resin system. Field decent rewards seems to not re-spawn; so, after a first run, you go around collecting stone and plants and killing the same 3-4 monsters tipe.

    3) The gatcha: Sniping a hero it's surely not cheap with a 0.6% rate. ( On YouTube videos of famous streamers that dropped up to 10k$ for a specific 5* hero ), then you also realize that the game has a "constellation" and "refine" system and that to actually max a hero or weap you have to drop 8 of them. That's just insane.

    4) The rewards: With the insane resin system and such low drop rates you would except that at least the game has a nice currency flow.... Well... NO!. Most of the free stuff come from events and 1-time quests or rewards, once cleared them the drop goes to 0. A 10* pull cost 1600 diamonds and you can earn 50-60 of them daily. Timed events provide something like 200-300 diamonds for a week of efforts.

    5) What this game really is?: Don't get fooled by the a-rpg battles style and the open world mechanic this game it's just a full idle RPG like any other in the store ( actually even worse considering drop rates and stamina system ). It has rune system ( artifacts ), stamina system ( resin ), idle-RPG type lvling system based totally on the gatcha feature, daily dung, bosses and gold/exp events.

    Довольно интересный сюжет, ради которого стоит поиграть в игру. Интересно побегать в открытом мире и изучать его (первые часов 10-20). Кроме сюжета и мира не могу выделить ничего особенного. Контента в игре по сути - нету. Единственное могу выделить бездну, но и с ней много проблем.
    Все жалуются на смолу, но проблема не только в ней. В игре нету цели. Зачем я нафармил себе артефакты и бегаю по миру? Я не знаю...
    Сама бездна может и дает неплохие (нет) награды, но чтобы пройти 5+ этаж нужно прокачивать неинтересных мне персонажей и тратить последнюю волюту, которой мало и фармить ее нет возможности.
    Весь патч 1.0 я сидел и верил, что разработчики смогут исправить минусы игры, хотя бы немного, но по анонсу 1.1, видно, что им наплевать, и она добавляют ивент, который просит 40 смолы.
    В игру можно было добавить по миру случаные события с очень сложными боссами и тактиками и хорошей наградой, в игру можно было добавить более сложные достижения, в игру можно было добавить больше сундуков и монстров, больше способов фарма чего угодно, но они добавили 4 персонажа и сюжет с ивентом (ЗА СМОЛУ).
    Вот я до последнего верил что разработчики из мобильной игры сделают хорошую нормальную игру. Но они просто плюют в лицо всем игрокам, и не дают цели и бесконечного (ну или хотя бы восстановление сундуков чаще) контента. Жалко, что в потенциале хорошая, игра, осталась мобильным мусором и играть дольше, 30 уровня приключений нет смысла.
    В итоге: Игра все же стоит внимания и можно пройти все задания и загадки, но сидеть и фармить бездну или артефакты, сейчас (и скорее всего вообще все патчи) - бессмысленно.

    From sounds that cut out to a boss that uses all his abilities at the same moment (when it’s not supposed to happen), it’s not worth the time or frustration

    I honestly really enjoyed this game the first few days I played it. The graphics are great and the story is decent, but as soon as I finished the prologue things went downhill from my view.

What's worse, is that the 5 star character that apparently had a boost that made it more common, didn't show up once. Not a single 5 star character in the 10+ wishes I made. I'm not willing to dump another 100+ dollars on this game just to get duplicates and items you can easily throw away. If you are gonna spend money on this game, do not be surprised if you get bad items. Expand

    I genuinely enjoyed this game when I first picked it up last January and I really had fun with its gameplay and mechanics but holy hell did miHoYo mess up this game so much. Leveling up characters to their maximum level takes too long that it just burns you out. Resin is so hard to come by, and the god-forsaken excuse of a gacha system.

The rate at which you can get Primogems is so low that you can farm all day and just barely have enough to roll ten times in the Gacha. I really wanted to play this game but because of these problems, it has become impossible to do so. I really wish miHoYo would listen to community feedback and fix these issues instead of just catering to the whales and weebs. I wish that they would listen to the community as a whole. The gameplay and the graphics are the only saving grace that I can see in this game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. В плане графики игра очень красивая хорошо детализированная и тд
    сюжет относительный мне +- зашел только в 1 регионе, а во втором действия архонта непонятны зачем было нужно ради испытания отдавать сердце? Можно же было просто отойти на покой и в случае чего вернуться
    Звуки мне вполне себе зашли Озвучка в целом я играл на японской но в один момент решил посмотреть что на других озвучках и с моей точки зрения голоса слишком разные например Янь фей в японской и английской озвучке звучит ну слишком разно Конкретные минусы Просто ужасная система прокачки которая завязана на чистом гринде 24на7 ,или на 15 минут чистый рандом и как итог билд зависит не от предпочтений игрока, а от везения Геймплей, по факту конец игры и начало различаются персами, скилами, оружием вроде неплохо даже отлично но вот только если дать игроку который поиграл часа 2 в игру играть на акке человека который наиграл 100+ ... он будет играть почти так же как и владелец акка я к тому что игра не вынуждает тебя учить какие-то новые фишки и тд те же самые элементальные реакции нужны только чтобы решать головоломки и сносить 2 вида мобов ( слизни и маги при чем последних можно убить и без них) , есть только 2 места в игре от которых может полыхать жопа и то не прям сильно это аждаха и бездна, почему не так сильно? Потому что на 2-3 попытке ты поймешь что следующий уровень сложности не пройти с твоей прокачкой так как тебя давят слишком большими цифрами, а не скилами ( как например в ghostrunner) И так же один в один стыреные анимации с зельды ( бег, полёт, при нырянии даже брызги такие же и летят в те же стороны) Мультиплеер Если вы думаете что это ММОРПГ вроде destiny 2 то вы ошибаетесь это вообще не ММОРПГ так как по факту игра синловая единственное что может побудить играть по сети помимо фана с друзьями это квесты и.... Гринд, а если быть конкретными воровство ресов Мир В целом он не особо и плохой но там есть только головолмки 2 города 3-4 хороших квеста и Драконий хребет единственная наполнения хоть каким то интересным контентом локация хотя и довольно маленкая . Обновления В плане сюжетки еë за год с просто очешуительными заработками расширяли... 5 или 6 раз наверное? Нет только 1 и за все это время так же завезли только 2 региона один из которых драконий хребет ( в целом не плохой но маленький) и Инадзума ( я дропнул игру до выхода Инадзумы
    Крайне маленькие награды но это не прям чтобы капец минус

    У игры есть очень много проблем:
    1. Дисбаланс старых героев уже присутствующих в игре (Электро стихия сильно проседает на фоне других)
    2. Непродуманные механики новых героев (Они плохо взаимодействуют с уже имеющимися в игре героями, выполняют свои основные функции на ровне, а то и ХУЖЕ, чем бесплатные 4-звездочные персонажи, раздаваемые всем в ходе игры, а ведь многие люди за них

    3. Очень странный и скомканный сюжет (Сюда же проблемы с лором, вроде того, что существенная его часть раскрывается в ограниченных по времени ивентах, недоступных новым игрокам)
    4. Очень много багов, которые не исправляются БОЛЬШЕ ПОЛУГОДА, несмотря на многочисленные репорты.
    5. Отсутствие лейт-гейм контента и какого-либо вызова со стороны игры, который побуждал бы разбираться в её механиках.
    6. Не выполнение обещаний (Например, ситуация с крыльями из ивента с KFC, которые после скандала они пообещали добавить на некитайские сервера в течение лета, закончившегося месяц назад)
    7. Ужесточение гача системы (Если раньше созвездия на героях только бафали их и практически не влияли на их механики, то теперь михуё начали выпускать инвалидов с урезанными механиками, вырезанная часть которых засунута в консты. Т.е. только для того, чтобы получить полноценного героя с нормально работающими механиками, тебе нужно будет выкрутить его в гаче несколько раз. И это ещё не упоминая усугубляющуюся ситуацию со скамом в оружейном баннере, когда одно из двух оружий баннера мастхэв для многих героев, а другое полный мусор, показывающий себя хуже, чем аналогичные f2p пушки...)

    А ТЕПЕРЬ САМАЯ ГЛАВНАЯ ПРОБЛЕМА:
    8. Абсолютное игнорирование вышеперечисленных проблем со стороны михуё и ЧТО БОЛЕЕ ВАЖНО абсолютное игнорирование закономерного возмущения комьюнити, ДАЖЕ БОЛЕЕ ТОГО наплевательское отношение к нему! Михуё не просто не исправляют эти проблемы, они даже не говорят о них, они не ведут совершенно никакого диалога с комьюнити! Нет даже простого “Нам известны эти проблемы, мы работаем над их решением”, абсолютное молчание в ответ на критику со стороны игроков. При этом эти проблемы широко известны и обсуждаются в комьюнити, и они также известны михуё, но при этом нет совершенно никакого фидбэка с их стороны!
    По сути, годовщина была прекрасной возможностью для них “откупиться” за все свои косяки, но они этого не сделали, а те подачки, что они дали скорее походят на издевательство. Это и стало последней каплей в чашу терпения игроков и михуё захлестнуло волной праведного гнева. И что же михуё сделали в такой ситуации? Может извинились или хотя бы сделали официальное заявление, в котором защитили свою позицию? Нет, они продолжили отмалчиваться!

At face value this game is fantastic with decent gameplay and cast of characters with good visuals and sound/music. But let me go through the good and the bad with this review:

    -The Good-

    -The Zelda BotW looking style is really good and captures the inspiration of the game. Even running in the lowest graphics setting on pc the game still looks good.

    -There are two regions of the game one being the fantasy land themed region of Mondstadt which is the starting region and is the smaller of the two available regions and then the other being the Oriental fantasy themed area of Liyue which is the larger region. While the smaller region is pretty simplistic with enemy camps and some small villages here and there the larger region is filled with villages, ruins, mining encampments and other areas of discovery. Both maps even have their special statues that are called statue of the 7 which both regions have their own version themed around their own element that region worships as well as their own Oculus tokens to collect to max out the shrine of the region which gives adventure experience, currency, and even increase your stamina cap so you can run, climb, swim, etc more as you journey.

    -The story is pretty ok for your typical anime adventurer from another world please help us do things as you look for your lost sibling scenario, I think what shines is the cast of characters you can meet along in your journey which you can also unlock as playable but the only issue is its through the gacha.

    -The combat with characters you have is simple but highly customizable in a way. Each character you collect or get lucky to get are based around one of the 7 respective elements. While using different weapons, their combat styles along with accessories and element team composition play a role in how you will play. Elements even have a combined effect next to strengths and weaknesses to one another where you can really dish out damage, gain more defense against, or even break shields of an element yours is strong against.

    -Standard gameplay is pretty much like BotW, people new to it will be ticked because of the stamina system but those who have played it won't be bothered because this game goes by the same principles. like jumping at the last bit of stamina to get that leap of faith jump to climb to top or finding different slope angles to rest on. There is even cooking in this game which plays a big role in your adventure where collecting everything nailed down really helps in your cooking, crafting, forging, etc.

    -The Bad-
    While the game is good with the positives the negatives is what really drops this games score down:

    -This is the big sting to this game. One this is a gacha game first and foremost since made by a Chinese developer nuff said. The character rates in this game is really bad with 5* characters having a 0.6%, 4* Characters and weapons being 5.1% and the rest filled by useless 3* weapons. This alone is the largest stink of the game since you would like to play the characters more than get useless gear that will just end up being used to level up your better 4* weapons that you craft or get unluckily out of the gacha. There is a pity system where every 10 pulls give you a 4* anything but it takes roughly 100 pulls to get a 5* while that does not sound bad the next worse thing on this is next.

    -Lacking ways to get primogems which is the currency needed to do your gacha pulls. The rates used to be 5-10 per chest opened in beta but on release they nerfed it through the ground where common chest you get nothing and every other chest just tiers up from 2,5, and 10 based on chest rarity. All this to funnel you to spend nearly $200 usd to get that 5* pity pull since the price for the premium currency which converts to primogems on a 1 to 1 basi. A streamer even spent $2k irl money to get the chracter he wanted and then you have to turn around and pull them 6 more times to level their constellation 4* not much an issue if you get banner for them come up but terrible if you want to level the 5*.

    The limiting system is also bad since it gates the 28+ game really hard. You only get 120 resin with barely any consumables to replenish it besides the ones you get for level up you can only use once. And doing dungeons to get stuff cost 20 resin to run while mini world bosses cost 40 and big bosses cost 60 and you only fight them once per week. It also costs $10 to use the 6 recoveries you are allowed to with primogems.

    -Chests in game all drop garbage items besides a few select. You do get better rarities at higher world levels but it still ends up as all garbage for endgame and only reason to open them is increase AR.

    This game proves that gacha games no matter how beautiful and well-crafted it is can be tainted into an utter cash grab of a system that leeches on whales in order to keep up its playerbase's activity.

I must admit that the graphics of the game are just gorgeous; an eye-opener on how jaw-dropping anime graphics can be in a 3D environment especially with its professional voice acting and decent storyline. Unfortunately, it is just corrupted and overshadowed by the imminent gacha system that the game's core system relies upon. Most of the time, players are just whining that they didn't get Diluc or Venti or whatever 5-star character that has humongous humabogolous breasts or generic lullaby """"cute"""" loli that fulfills the hilariously unbalanced meta of the game. Just like any other gacha game, balance doesn't exist. Meanwhile, the other part of the playerbase boasts about getting those meta characters either through sheer stupid luck or whaling their parents' inheritance. This game literally dictates the amount of dopamine you get just through luck. Get 5-star => dopamine overdose. Get 3-star weapon => depression.
    I would have much prefer if this game was a paid game at the cost of removing the tedious gacha system. And that would have been an excellent 10/10 game for me.

    TL;DR: Gacha bad.

    They could have an ARPG GotY candidate - if only they could give a damn (and I sorta get it).

    They also have a intrincate elemental system that has it's flaws (electro end game scaling) but hey, it's complex and deep in a genre that people (Blizzard) seem to cater for gold fishes with low attention spam. And they have that in a game that flows like a modern Assassin's Creed.

    And yet, they bottled it with the resin system. This is the screwed up world were ARPGs are into: it's better to make a great game and kill it with a stupid system and profit with gacha AND pay to progress instead of making an AAA ARPG with reasonable monetization (cosmetics).

    The worst part is, while I would rather have silence than a tone-deaf response - I get it.

    I don't like the feeling that this whole thing tells more about the stock market disguised as gaming industry than about Mihoyo and Genshin. I don't like the feeling that, in the screwed up world we are into, Mihoyo could be "right".

    Into the paywalls:

    - The gacha system is a gacha, but it also is the least of your problems. It's a PvE game and the 4 star trash can clear it. It's garbage can, not garbage can't - and some non-5-star suports are even S tier, mind you. Same applies for some non-dps weapons and the farmable DPS wepons are A tier, not D tier.

    - There is a resin (energy) system that could makes it pay to progress - if it didn't have a cap after you pay a little bit. This is the firs wall you'll encounter, but not the last nor the tallest.

    - Unique items to max talents have a low drop rates on bosses you can fight once a week. This is "it".

    So yeah. They made a good game you can't enjoy at your pace past a certain point not even if you whale. That's bad design. That would be easy to fix (remove the energy system, reduce boss respwan timers form one week to one minute). If only they could give a damn...

    Decent, but uninspired all around. Gameplay and graphics are held back by being cross platform. fun but lacking in depth, difficulty or design to keep it that way for long.

    -The world is beautiful at first glance, but after a few days of playing, nearly every location (so far) has more or less the same atmosphere. It gets old no matter how much i like it.
    -Character designs are quite nice, amber is a favorite, and they are animated fairly well
    -Characters have a little more customization than some similar titles, though even with the entire gatcha roster their are fairly few at launch
    -Enemy variety is a bit lacking, their are a few variations of each enemy, but that aside their are only a few enemy types, and fewer still that are significantly different in combat
    -Combat on the whole has some interesting features like elemental reactions, but some enemies can feel like damage sponges even when you out level them. The AI is fairly basic and and easily exploited if you are willing.
    -Map is compact but fairly large and filled with lots of stuff to do. It's very fun and reasonably fast to navigate which almost makes the plentiful teleportation points a pity.
    -The characters themselves are passible, their are no grand backstories or anything, and only a couple are really memorable for me. That said every NPC is unique and has at least some dialog.
    -The story is nothing special, at least for now, not any huge glaring faults but, not very inspired.
    -Climbing is quite fun, though it could be faster. I only dungeons used the mechanic in a unique way, rather than practically disabling it.
    -Dungeons are fairly dull affairs, with no puzzles and only very occasional platforming to break up combat slogs.
    -loot and rewards are plentiful, but even higher tier chests can be duds and actually exciting finds are quite uncommon after a short time.
    -Graphicly it's nicely stylized and smooth aside from a couple of bugs, but ultimately feels like it is being held back by the cross platform nature.
    -Too many menus and currencies
    -linear stat increases punctuated with infrequent skill unlocks makes leveling up more boring and less exciting that it should be, though exp items are given with such frequency that combat EXP is practically ignorable, and I often level up 5+ times at once on multiple characters at a time.

    It has very few actual content, and your majority time will be spent on waiting daily mission and opening chests. This is a gacha gambling game, you cannot get all characters/weapons without A LOT of money. Another problem is that it got published on all platforms, If other companies start making game like this, it will be the end of 3A game industry.

I've been grinding for few days and got to AR 30, where things tend to get a little bit tougher. Then I've decided to summon some wishes hoping to get at least one 5 star on my team. With their rate of wishes, I've got nothing but 4 stars. I didn't want to top-up and get the 5 star not of my choices, so I've decided to quit. You can grind with the starting characters but it takes alot of time and some of the 5 star characters just made the game easier. Sadly, this still has alot of bugs during my time of play. Still its a china company so its typical they want you to top up in-game currencies and spin the gacha. Some of the mechanics and interface are terrible. Puzzle-wise its simple but time-consuming. One thing that I hate about this game is that they include gacha in their decks which make characters in this game scarce. Those big bosses was unbeatable late-game without good characters/ weapons.

    In conclusion, you get the character the wanted, then its playable. If u get rubbish like I do, its unplayable. Pretty much a gamble/grind fest. The whole system just doesn't make sense for me. So that's a negative.

Stunning character and open-world designs, immersive BGM, and top-notch graphics, this game represents a great leap forward for the Chinese game industry. Compared to Tencent and Netease or other mobile game developers, I would say Mihoyo makes better games, period. To be honest, I enjoy this game more than BOTW.

    HOWEVER, those who gave 10 out of 10 are just hilarious and biased, and I guarantee most of them are scams, or those players aren't reaching lv30 by now. Daily quests are extremely repetitive, and the whole open world is lack of re-exploration contents. This game IS a p2w game (a Chinese mobile game developer, what else do you expect?), and it has not one, not two, not three, not four, but five monetization systems, four of which are extremely profitable (battle pass, monthly subscription, skins (upcoming patch), and the gacha system (0.6% for 5-star characters OR weapon in one pool? Are you serious?). Several characters are vital for your experience (i.e., Wendy, Diruc, and Keqing), and their lower-tier substitutions are nowhere as good as they are. The main character (5-star) is underpowered, and several 4-star/5-star characters are also useless or underpowered except some specific mechanics in the game (yeah I am talking to you, Amber and Jean). Also, poor optimization for phones (so I don't know why people are rating 10/10 if they are playing on a phone). Poor rewards for explorations, quests, or even battle pass.

    I don't think this game deserves a score of 0/1 or 9/10 to be honest. Let's see if the operation designer can handle the game better (they screwed up the mid-autumn fest and Chinese national day, there isn't any event and Chinese players are pissed off).

    Also, why only support 60fps? Honkai impact 3, a game from the same developer supports up to 120FPS, so its weird why MiHoyo just didnt implement 120FPS support for this game as well.

If you don't pay attention to the retarded story and annoying voice acting, there's a pretty well-defined gameplay loop with reasonably satisfying physics that would really REALLY benefit from being able to actually co-op the game instead of just killing stuff together. It's obvious the developers care about the game more than any other freemium pay-to-win mobile shovelware, with around ten trillion hours of reading if you actually care about the paper-thin plot and characters. Their premium (P2W) currency isn't terribly priced and doesn't really do much aside from give you good gear, however they have methods through which you can get those items without paying, so nothing remains exclusive. Even if the characters lore is shallow, each one feels like they could be viable and are very fun to use if given the proper gear and levels. The combat is really satisfying, usually requiring you to use a mixture of ranged and melee attacks kind of like the combat for Horizon: Zero Dawn. It's not a masterpiece but it's definitely a fun game with caring developers. Expand

    Enemies can easily chain stun, knockdown and freeze you constantly
    Greedy microtransactions
    Toxic community
    Few items, few monsters variations
    Empty world

    This is exactly how I can sum up Genshin Impact, terrible toxic fanbase that has staunchly defends the greed from miHoYo for a game that is a mile wide, but merely an inch thick, on the outside it appears vast but everything is so heavily recycled, you're doing the same stuff over and over again.

    Game isn't a 'breath of the wild clone' so stop calling it that, what Genshin Impact is a single player grindy gatcha game with so many broken aspects that cause no end of frustration. Genshin Impact is a product of a rabid fanbase hyping the game up so high that it cannot possible come close to actually how good the game is, and the further you get into the game the worst it becomes, not to mention the world although beautifully created is barren and mostly devoid of life, you'll come across the same 5 monsters over and over again.

    First off, lets talk about levelling your characters which is a grind in itself because your main source of exp comes from books like Hero's Wit which are found from random chests which force you to explore every nook and cranny in the world which you have absolutely no choice but to explore, secondly you have to level your weapons and artifacts which is...yep another grind. Also for some crazy reason, you also need Mora (your average in-game currency) for everything, even to level up your characters and each pull you'll on average get 9 of the same 3* weapons over and over which serve absolutely no purpose except to burn your money away, because there is a extreme lack of items/weapons and characters so naturally, you'll keep getting the same stuff over and over.

    Exploring consists of wander around, fight groups of mobs for a chest to appear and rinse and repeat, or complete a basic puzzle to gain another chest which usually contains just levelling up mats or useless gear. Later in the game, you'll face less trash mobs and mini-boss after mini-boss and it just goes down hill from there, especially once you start fighting highly buggy Ruin Graders which absolutely love to reset themselves making the entire 10 minutes you just spent getting it almost down for it to run off and reset, this happens FREQUENTLY and are known issues to MiHoYo.

    Lets talk about the gatcha system, yes you can 'unlock' some things for free but later in the game you really need to spent money to get desirable maxed constellation* characters with great 5* weapons because the difficulty spikes especially after AR40+ become insane, and that tread continues even at the start of the game some basic challenges can be frustratingly difficult whilst others you can't really fail, which makes me highly question the balance of the game.

    *The constellation system is basically if you get a duplicate character from a gatcha pull, and you will quite often then it buffs that characters constellation by giving them a bonus power up to C6 level and later in the game, this becomes so much more important and eventually you'll hit a point where you can get stuck unless you spend vast amounts of money, sometimes as much as $1000+ to get a fully powered up 5 star character.

    Lets talk about Resin, in fact lets not because if you look at most of the 0 reviews, they'll explain exactly the problem with this, something that needs to be addressed but again, casually overlooked by MiHoYo.

    Many challenges are so poorly balanced, often having a very strict time limit some are not a problem, but others involving enemies that can stun or freeze are so frustrating, you'll want to smash your computer into pieces as you are stunlocked and lose valuable time to absolute BS mechanics. Quite often the poor game physics can even mean the difference from beating a challenge and failing it.

    Very greedy micro transactions, potentially costing hundreds and hundreds in order to get a levelled character, specially 5 star characters which could potentially even cost a thousand or more to get, since you need duplicates in order to unlock progressively better talents for that character, this is exacerbated by a toxic community of white knights and fanbois who have elevated MiHoYo to almost a cult status and defend even the most insidious of business practices.

    But...
    MiHoyo does not give a single **** about their fanbase, the fact that this is a gacha game gives the game a massive black stain, most gacha games often reward their playerbase fairly via events, anniversaries, or just the overall game to keep that black stain from expanding, Genshin Impact in the other hand seems to voluntarily not only expand the damn stain, but add other big ass stains to the game as other problems arise, like, not buffing Amber, making dumbass decisions when making 5* characters, saying false promises such as the KFC glider, the absolutely terrible communication, the way MiHoyo treats their fans, the absolute travesty that is the resin system and the stat drop rates on domains, etc, the fact that the only goddamn way for MiHoyo to listen MIGHT be rant bombing the game is baffling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Genshin Impact starts out unbelievably entertaining and exciting. It's so easy to get hooked and spend hours playing. You get to meet delightful and endearing characters that you would want to be able to play with and level up. It's seemed a little too easy to ascend them all at first. You could easily believe that the game will be consistent in impressing you.

    You don't really mind investing resources, thinking the game will be generous to let you grind out upgrade materials because it's a no-brainer, people not only want to pull a character just so they could collect them.

    Early on, it’s easy to think like it's a great idea to pull as many characters as you can only to hit a certain Adventure Rank level to realize that you shouldn't have invested in all the characters you got from pulls. Why? Their stamina system, namely Resin, is a heavy time-gate. How much resin you can get is how fast you'll advance. Resin will force you to prioritize building characters that you will need to advance further. What I don't understand is that Resin can indirectly discourage players from spending on pulls, because more characters, more items, that need to be upgraded to become relevant in your current World Level.

    Resin takes a whopping 16 hours to fully regenerate to the max capacity, but it just takes 2 weekly bosses to spend it all, or 3 Elite Bosses, or 6 domain runs. Resin is so heavy on time-gating players that it takes too long to regenerate, collecting rewards cost too much resin and there are too many Resin sinks. It does not scale in any way with your Adventure Rank. Meanwhile, the resin costs scale up, because higher AR means more access to resin sinks. The materials required to ascend and to level up not only scale up, but it also skyrockets!

    After you happily blaze through all the quests currently available, what’s left are daily commissions and a few world quests with rewards that do not scale up. Doing meaningful activities that push your progress forward becomes mind-numbingly slow.

    What do players do without resin? Some are smart and start planing out and getting materials that do not require Resin to collect and open chests that they find along the way. But the more frequently you explore, the emptier and baren the world becomes.

    Genshin Impact is just a recently released game so I am hopeful that it will improve to keep the player base invested. While I am truly infuriated by Resin, I am still excited to see how miHoYo will expand the world that is Teyvat.

    -Large, beautiful open world that is fun to explore in the beginning.
    -Excellent musical background

    Minuses:
    -Gacha. Nothing can justify the loot box mechanic.
    -Primogems for gacha in the game is farmed very slowly. There was more on beta, but the drop from chests was reduced at release.
    -After completing all the quests, there is only a boring grind 30-40 minutes a day.
    -Energy system (resin) strongly inhibits character development at a high level. The developers clearly want players to donate for energy replenishment. For example, to ascent character on 70 lvl, you need 12 resources from bosses, they only drop 2 (rarely 3), most likely you will have to kill the boss 5 or 6 times, and this is at least 200 resin, more than one day of generation. And you have 4 characters. And you also need to get money for this resin, res for character exp, skill books.
    -It is very difficult to change the character or weapon in the lategame. You will have to spend a lot of resin on the character, and you can only get weapon enhancement materials by running all over the map and collecting crystals. Also, you can get a lot of additional resources from the Battle Pass (and even this won't solve all problems). So experimenting with builds is problematic. Pick one and play with it.
    -Mihoyo doesn't really listen to players. They promised to add a couple of the requested mechanics (like blocking the artifact so as not to accidentally throw it out), but instead of increasing the rate of resin generation, they just increased its maximum storage (which is useless with constant play). They are clearly not going to increase the very low drop rate of 5 * characters (0.6%). At the same time, it is really good to get some characters several times (for example, Klee almost certainly needs the first constellation), the cost of loot boxes is quite high. The respawn time of the chests is also clearly not going to increase (you can forget about the game for a month, and even a half of the chests in the world will not be respawned).

    If you have a question "what's the problem with spending another 1-2 weeks and power up more characters?" Answer: Adventurer rank. With it, the level of the world grows, the main source of growth: 4 daily quests and resin. If you try to spend resin on many characters at once, then the world level will grow, and you do not have strong enough characters, the difficulty of the game will grow until you catch up with the world level, spending all resources on 4 main characters. You can power up one new character, but even 8 (for the abyss) is a problem.

    This game has potential, but version 1.0 has too many flaws. I don't expect a lot of content from the service game on release, but these disadvantages are too obvious.

    Potentially good game. Very hard to know since I couldn't make it past the tutorial. The reason is simple: This game doesn't have Invert mouse options. You would think this is a pretty standard thing. Even though I am pretty late to try this game (Feb 2021) there still is no invert mouse, and never have been it seems, which makes the game unplayable for me.

    this game is too boring is an open world game but has no replay value, pay to win, very bad user support, poor optimization, bad storyline, this is too bad a game while carrying the label inspired by zelda BOTW

    Pretty amazing game impressively huge and ever expanding.

    The world design and music are top notch, and let me just say that when it comes to music in my opinion no game has as many impressive tracks. Even after releasing 2 regions this world design and music quality has not gone down. Just don’t think of the game as a character collector gatcha chore fest and you’ll have fun. Of

    Of course gatcha addicts are going to be super annoyed (all they see is primogems in their eyes), but if you want to have a very unique open world experience look no further.

    Игра развивается не в том направлении, но в целом приемлемая игра, особенно если времени на игры мало.

    Rather than a typical online game, Genshin Impact resembles a traditional single-player jRPG with a real-time combat. For a free-to-play title it is very impressive, but turns out to be pretty derivative and quickly slumps into monotony. [13/2020, p.52]

    Oh, the joy of exploring this beautiful world. Oh, the clever combat, the great voice acting, the compelling story. This is one of the best RPGs of the year. And it’s almost beyond comprehension that you can get it for free.

    Overall, in spite of things that should bring Genshin Impact down, the game is so much fun to play that the negatives are ultimately minor gripes. [...] The gameplay is smooth and simplistic, and it works great on all platforms - though I’m still not sure why the PlayStation version can’t be linked to a Mihoyo account so I could play on my phone when I’m not at home (PS Vita version please??) but it’s a small gripe to an otherwise terrific game.
